Otso Case Study: Nuveen

Background:

Nuveen, a prominent global investment manager, specializes in delivering comprehensive financial services and innovative investment solutions. With a robust portfolio in commercial real estate, Nuveen faced challenges in accelerating their leasing processes while ensuring the highest security and risk management standards.

Challenge:

Nuveen’s leasing team, led by Skylar Huth and David Dyer, was experiencing extended timelines in the financial vetting process of potential tenants. The existing system was not only time-consuming but also posed risks due to the non-secure handling of sensitive data. The team needed a solution that could streamline their processes without compromising on the thoroughness and security of tenant evaluations.

Solution:

Enter Otso’s Underwriting-as-a-Service (UaaS). This groundbreaking platform offered Nuveen a seamless, secure, and efficient method to conduct financial reviews. With UaaS, Otso provided:

  • Speed: Significant reduction in review times, enabling quicker decision-making.
  • Security: Highly secure methods of data collection and handling.
  • Insights: Comprehensive CRE-specific ratings and predictive analytics for better risk assessment.

Implementation:

Working closely with Skylar Huth and David Dyer, Otso tailored its UaaS platform to integrate seamlessly into Nuveen's existing workflow. The implementation process involved:

  • Initial consultations to understand specific challenges and requirements.
  • Customization of the UaaS platform to align with Nuveen’s operational standards.
  • Training sessions for Nuveen's team to maximize the platform’s capabilities.

Results:

The collaboration between Otso and Nuveen yielded significant improvements:

  • Efficiency Boost: Review times were cut down by over 25 days per prospect, leading to faster lease signings.
  • Enhanced Security: Secure data handling methods reduced the risk associated with sensitive financial information.
  • Better Decision Making: Access to in-depth, CRE-specific insights allowed for more informed and confident leasing decisions.
